Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist; CRNA Wage

Be part of a High-Autonomy Practice in a growing surgical program. UVA Health's University Medical Center is expanding Perioperative Services and is seeking Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) to support extended hour operating room coverage, Saturday elective programs, and sustained OR growth across multiple surgical sites.

This expansion is a core component of UVA Health's bridge strategy through 2027,
enabling increased surgical access while transitioning from incentive-based anesthesia coverage to a stable, employed CRNA workforce.

• Main Operating Room (high acuity, Level I Trauma)
• Outpatient and ambulatory surgery centers (OCIR, SCR)
• Endoscopy and procedural suites
• Offsite and nonOR anesthesia (NORA) locations

• Nationally ranked academic medical center case mix
• High autonomy CRNA practice within a collaborative Anesthesia Care Team model
• Schedule flexibility
• Mentorship program for new graduates
• Leadership and quality improvement pathways
